Energy prices play a crucial role in combating geopolitical risks, especially for the major suppliers of energy resources. However, display bilateral relationship with risks any economy. Any hike price stimulates risk factors and visa-versa. The consequences adversely impact economies bring forth international tensions. This paper bridges gap between influence relating to tensions by analyzing ...

UNLABELLED A dentigerous cyst was treated with enucleation and coronectomy of the associated tooth to minimize the risk of inferior alveolar nerve damage, resulting from direct surgical trauma or indirectly from intra-operative or post-operative jaw fracture. Radiographic monitoring over 33 months confirmed migration of the roots through healed bone and progressive obliteration of the residual ...

Neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome is a widely recognized, yet controversial, syndrome. The lack of specific objective diagnostic modalities makes diagnosis difficult. This is compounded by a lack of agreed upon definitive criteria to confirm diagnosis. Recent efforts have been made to more clearly define a set of diagnostic criteria that will bring consistency to the diagnosis of neurogenic t...

OPERATIVE STRATEGY IN ACUTE SURGICAL ABDOMEN OF NON-TRAUMATIC EXTRAGENITAL ORIGIN ASSOCIATED WITH PREGNANCY (Abstract): The association between acute surgical abdomen of non-traumatic extragenital cause and pregnancy is very rare, making assessment difficult. Consequently, a standard protocol of surgical conduct has not been established, making it necessary to often resort to intraoperative imp...

Aesthetic alteration of the genitalia is increasingly sought by women unhappy with the size, shape, and appearance of their vulva. Although the labia minora are usually the focus of concern, the entire anatomic region--minora, labia majora, clitoral hood, perineum, and mons pubis--should be evaluated in a preoperative assessment of women seeking labiaplasty. Labiaplasty is associated with high ...
